Synopsis

Upward Lightning Strikes explores the fascinating and often misunderstood phenomenon of upward lightning, where electrical discharges originate from the ground, often from tall structures like wind turbines and skyscrapers, challenging conventional understanding of lightning behavior. This book addresses critical knowledge gaps in lightning protection and risk assessment, especially as infrastructure grows taller. It highlights how understanding upward lightning is essential for designing effective protective measures and mitigating potential damage, particularly since it poses unique challenges compared to traditional cloud-to-ground lightning.

 


 
The book begins by establishing a foundation in atmospheric electricity and then transitions to the specifics of upward lightning initiation mechanisms, focusing on the role of tall structures and atmospheric conditions. It examines detection and measurement techniques, like lightning location systems, emphasizing the importance of lightning research networks. This specialized examination of upward lightning provides an in-depth analysis, distinguishing it from general texts on lightning and offering specific engineering considerations.

 


 
Finally, the book delves into the engineering implications of upward lightning, providing practical guidance for designing lightning protection systems and developing risk assessment models. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, culminating in a comprehensive resource for engineers and researchers. It draws from field observations, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations, connecting to meteorology, materials science, and risk management for a holistic approach.

What Do Bees Think About?

Mathieu Lihoreau

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. 
 
 
 
Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? 
 
 
 
Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and other scientists' research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees—they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.

The Conscience of Care -...

Dov Fox

Pitched battles over abortion, puberty blockers, and assisted suicide have turned American healthcare into a legal minefield. Faced with mounting restrictions on medical practice, doctors and nurses who follow their conscience to provide standard treatments risk being fined, fired, or even imprisoned, while clinicians who conscientiously deny evidence-based care are shielded without condition from any such consequences. Dov Fox argues that by ceding the moral vocabulary of conscience to refusers alone, the lopsided law of medical conscience selectively burdens providers, drives vulnerable patients underground, and impoverishes the dynamic pluralism of medicine.The Conscience of Care lays bare the broken system of medical conscience and sets out to fix it. Fox canvases a landscape of contested services that include IVF, IUDs, opioids, psychedelics, organ transplants, and advance directives. He develops practical reforms that rebalance conscience protection by introducing measured safeguards for providers and scaling back the categorical refuge afforded to refusers. The Conscience of Care articulates a bold vision of medicine that reclaims the lost promise of conscience to bridge social divides on matters of life and death, impairment and identity.
